Ben and Gwen: lonely kid and gifted child

I’ve thought a lot about these two and their family dynamic. Both are relatable to me but in different ways. Like Gwen, I’ve always been the “mature” one who was good at school and loved by the adults in my life, but I also don’t have any friends and have a desire for fame and attention like Ben. At first glance, they seem to have little to complain about, being white kids with stable homes and two parents, compared to someone like Kevin, but there’s more to a character than just the surface and I think both have a lot of emotional issues relating to their self worth.

With Gwen, we get glimpses into her life and how everyone views her as perfect. Sunny envied how she was adored by her parents and Verdona and Gwen wished her mother would stop thinking of her as the “good influence”. All the adults in her family loved her and expected her to be the role model for the other kids which is a double edged sword. Yes you get praise and love but also pressure and high expectations. You’re expected to babysit the other kids and often have to bury your true feelings to please everyone and people will envy the love you get. And that love is often conditional and based around living up to their standards, remember how Natalie told her “normal people don’t glow” and how she doesn’t like her daughter or nephew using their powers around her.

As a kid, she was constantly doing extracurriculars like cotillion and judo before earning a scholarship to go to college early in Omniverse. We got a glimpse into her daily life in “It’s not Easy Being Gwen” where everyone expects her to fulfill certain obligations. Gwen seems like a child prodigy who feels she has to be the best and is always filling her schedule with activities and is always trying to get into the top schools. I think that’s why she fell for Kevin. He was the only one who loved her without putting her on a pedestal or because she’s family. The only person she could be herself around and doesn’t force her to act like a perfectionist. People complain about her outfit change in OV and I agree with some of the criticisms, but with all the pressure in her life, I get why she would want a change from the expectations in her life.

Ben strikes me as someone with a deep inferiority complex. It’s implied that he’s a bit of a loner who doesn’t have many friends with JT ditching him for Cash. He did get along better with Sunny which makes me wonder if he can relate to being in Gwen’s shadow. Fans talk about how great Carl and Sandra are as parents and while they are nice people, their free range approach can seem negligent. They only seemed concerned about Ben’s heroics once they witnessed it. By that time, Ben had been on late night road trips with Kevin, who punched holes in their doors, for weeks and didn’t even come home one night in “Save the Last Dance”. Ben may have acted the way he did in the OS as a cry for help as he feels neglected and the favoritism everyone has towards Gwen may rub off on him. It reminds me a bit of how Steven from SU acted the way he did in the early episodes because he was constantly being left alone without the gems or Greg while being compared to Rose. Kids who don’t have friends nor get much attention while living in a family member’s shadow can and do develop inferiority complexes.

Ben’s desire for fame seems to stem from wanting to be loved and wanting to feel special. He becomes so full of himself because people finally love him as opposed to viewing him as some average kid. Fans have dismissed the bullying he faced as cliche or unnecessary but it adds to his character. A lonely, bullied kid who’s in the shadow of his overachieving cousin will want something that makes him feel special, like the Omnitrix. Ben has to learn throughout the 4 shows that he is the hero, not the watch. I think that’s why he loved using transformations like Four-arms, Humungousaur and Feedback so much even if they were inadequate for the situation as they made him feel confident. The way he fights is reminiscent of standing up to a bully too, picking an intimidating form, offering a chance to back off and then doing what he can to stop the threat. It’s easy to write him off as just a spoiled brat or narcissistic but I think 1, that’s ableist and 2, is a rather shallow way of looking at his character. While he can be insufferable at times, is it wrong to want acknowledgement or praise when there’s people like Will Harangue or the Rooters who hate you just for existing? I think he deserves a break from fans who hate him and he acts a lot better than most kids would in his situation. Compare him to Shinji Ikari from Evangelion, who I also love as a character, who would break down after seeing what Ben has to deal with every day.

I think both may envy each other at times. Gwen has been shown to be jealous of Ben getting all the glory as well as how Ben was given a car by her boyfriend despite her parents being wealthier. Like Sunny, Ben may have viewed Gwen as a stuck-up overachiever who got all the respect from their parents. That was until they bonded and became friends in the OS but it occasionally came back like when Ben lashed out at her for telling him he couldn’t use Feedback, believing she was trying to take the only thing he had. Because they have it easier than Kevin, it’s easy to expect them to just get over it but I think both Tennyson cousins need a lot of therapy and need to talk about their issues with each other. Both characters mean a lot to me and remind me of my own struggles.

A bunch of drawings for my unnamed ben 10 au I redesigned attea albedo frightwig sunny Julie and argit. Julie also wears a hearing aid she’s not deaf but has trouble hearing, sunny and albedo are partners and I’ll make a separate post for albedos backstory and I named argits species hytrethizons from the now abandoned planet erinace

oh and charmcaster in my au is 13 meaning she’s only two years older than Gwen

[csg-iii]

Quick edit of my favourite Ben 10 UAF rareship, Albunny (Albedo x Sunny), yes I made up their ship name lmao

It’s criminal that they never had a team-up episode. I suspect it was because their chemistry would have been off the charts, and the producers didn’t want people shipping them (especially because shipping them is just one step away from Bwen)

Ben and Jen:Anti-heros

Ben and Jen both slowly awoke from a peaceful slumber. The twins had been camping out on the roofs of buildings, in the forest, and hotels with no trouble. The twins have been putting their powers to use in living a stable runaway life. Sometimes the twins would use their nana to put on shows, other times Ben would use his wealth tarot card on rich assholes, or the twins would sing in parks. And the twins would always help people less fortunate than them where ever they went.

Throughout all the running and anti-hero work Ben and Jen never once ran into Max, Gwen, or Sunny. However, that would all end today. Because across the street from the roof, Ben and Jen were on, Max, Gwen, and Sunny was parked. "Ben look," Jen said looking down, Ben moved beside Jen and looked down at Max. "Woof, he looks awful," Ben said taking note of Max's dark, sunken eyes, messy hair and clothes, and tired expression. "Wonder how Gwen and Sunny are?" Ben asked then Gwen and Sunny exited the store.

Gwen looked perfectly fine, aside from red puffy eyes, Sunny was a different story. Sunny's hair was tangled and matted, her clothes were wrinkled and dirty, her eyes were dark and sunken like Max's, her face was tear-stained, and she also held a tired expression. Ben and Jen shared a look and then nodded to each other.

Ben and Jen flew down and hid behind the RV and tossed small rocks at Sunny. When Sunny turned and saw the twins her eyes glowed brightly and she gained a wide smile. Sunny ran to Ben and Jen, hugging them tightly, "Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see you two." she said. Ben hissed in pain but smiled and returned the hug, "Nice to see you too Sunny." Ben said and Jen was quick to break the hug. "Careful Sunny, Ben is hurt," she said, then a nearby truck exploded.

Ben, Jen, and Sunny looked and saw three people. All three were dressed in black leather and helmets that covered their faces. "Rojo!" Ben and Jen growled in anger.

"PAUSE"

"Hello, the narrator here to give background. When Ben and Jen meet Rojo and her gang when they first arrived at their current location. They all got along at first that is until Rojo decided to invite the twins on a heist, knowing what their powers could do. Everything was going perfectly until Jen had a little slip-up and cost them the heist.

Rojo and Jen got into a screaming match and Rojo pulled out her alien gun. Ben pushed Jen away and took the shot for her and was seriously hurt. Jen went crazy and destroyed the gang's hideout and took Ben to the hospital. Rojo swore she would make the twins pay, so yeah, the twins are not on good terms with Rojo."

"RESUME"

"You guys know them?" Sunny asked and Rojo turned to face them. "You!" Rojo growled and aimed her gun at them, "Fly!" Ben ordered and the three flew out of sight. "Ben, Jen!!" Max exclaimed when the twins flew past him. Ben and Jen paid Max no mind, they couldn't at the moment, Rojo kept shooting at them.

"I got this!" Gwen said and transformed into fourarms, and charged at Rojo and her gang. "Mind you business freak," Rojo said and sent her gang to deal with Gwen. "Sunny, help Gwen," Ben said then began throwing mana waves at Rojo. Sunny nodded, then took notice of the fact Jen had vanished. "One side!" Jen scored past Sunny with a giant war hammer.

Jen spun through the air toward Rojo, then she brought the hammer down. "AHHHH!!" Rojo was sent through the air and crashed into the convenience store Max was by. The impact broke the building and the ruble fell on Max. "GRANDPA!!" all four kids cried then drones came spring through the sky. The drones headed for Gwen, but Ben and Jen stopped them. "Get Grandpa to the hospital, it is down the street," Ben said smashing one of the drones. Gwen nodded and grabbed Max and Sunny followed and headed to the hospital.

Ben and Jen took care of the drones, and the police took care of Rojo and her gang. "What are these?" Jen asked picking up one of the busted drones. "Who knows, but they-" "AHHHH! " Jen's scream cut Ben off and he turned his head in shock. The drone gas some kind of cord latched onto Jen's neck. Red digital lines spread across Jen's neck and she began to change. Jen's skin turned red, and she grew in size, her clothes ripping and tearing and her pouch fell off. Jen's body also gained some weird red orbs and blades erupted from her skin, and her eyes turned red. "JEN!" Ben cried when Jen collapsed to the ground.

Jen ground and gripped her hair tightly as a voice filled her ears. "Listen to me whoever you are. My name is Vilgax, and you will assist me in retrieving the Omnitrix." the voice said viciously. "Ugh, well Vilgax, who do you think you are to tell me what to do," Jen asked her voice gaining gallons of venom. "Jen, who are you talking to?" Ben asked kneeling in front of Jen. "Fine, have it your way." Vilgax hissed and Jen began to get electrocuted and her mind went numb.

Everything stopped a few short minutes later and Jen collapsed in Ben's arms. "Jen!? Jen, are you ok?!" Ben asked while shaking Jen. Jen didn't make a sound but sat up and looked at Ben. "Jen?...." Ben asked, "Sorry, Jen isn't here right now," Jen said then grabbed Ben by the front of his hoodie and threw him to the side. 'BEN!' Jen cried from inside her mind, but she couldn't do anything.

Vilgax had taken full control of Jen's mind and body, and Jen didn't have access to her tarot cards because her pouch fell off. "Now, to get the Omnitrix!" Vilgax said and began to head for the hospital. Vilgax could hear Jen crying and protesting, it hurt him, but not that much.

"Ugh, my head." Ben groaned and sat up holding his head tightly. Ben opened his eyes, his vision was slightly blurry, and his head ached, but he didn't care. Ben walked over and grabbed Jen's pouch, he had to get her the strength tarot card, but first, he had to warn Gwen.

~~~~~~~~~

At the hospital, Gwen and Sunny sat waiting for Max to wake up. Neither one of them said a word since the doctor left the room and they both hoped the other would. The silence was killing them both and neither one wanted to be alone with their thoughts.

"Wonder how the twins are doing?" Sunny asked finally breaking the silence. Gwen was released but then became angered, "Why does it matter this is their fault." Gwen said crossing her arms. Sunny furrowed her brows, "Gwen, I'm sure Jen didn't mean for Rojo to fly into the building and hurt Grandpa." Sunny said, but that just upset Gwen more.

"That wouldn't have happened if they stayed out of the way."

"Rojo attacked them first."

"Then they did something to deserve it."

"WHY DO YOU HATE THEM!?'

"BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THEM!!!"

Sunny gained a confused look and tears streamed down Gwen's face. Gwen huffed and ran into the hallway, Sunny followed, wanting answers. "Gwen?" Gwen stood facing out the window but it was easy to see she was becoming a mess. "I've always been envious of Ben and Jen," Gwen said turning to look at Sunny. Sunny came closer and nodded for Jen to carry on. Gwen sniffled and looked out the window, "Ben and Jen have always been, strong, brave, smart kids. No matter what they were faced with they saw the bright side and never gave up. I've always wanted to be like that, but I never was and I never will be." Gwen said and Sunny nodded.

"I always put so much effort into everything to overshadow the twins with my achievements. I thought it would make me feel better and put them down, and it worked. However, Ben and Jen still looked on the bright side and never give up. Then I got the watch and they got their powers. I just want to be happy for myself and enjoy who I am without having some kind of interior motive." Gwen said and fell to the floor in tears. Sunny pulled Gwen into a tight hug, she wasn't thinking that the things Gwen has done are okay, but she does think she needs a hug.

Gwen returned the hug, but Jen came crashing through the window. Gwen and Sunny jumped to their feet and stepped back, "Jen?" Sunny asked in shock. "Not exactly," Vilgax said and grabbed Sunny and threw her to the side. "AHHH!!" "What are you doing?" Gwen asked but Vilgax just chuckled and grabbed Gwen's arm ready to take the Omnitrix. " Ahh! Let me go!" Gwen cried then a mana blast flew past her head and hit Vilgax. A mana rope then wrapped around Gwen's waist, another around Sunny's, and the two girls have pulled out the window.

When Gwen and Sunny were let down they were met by Ben, "I'll explain on the way." Ben said and ran for cover. Gwen and Sunny followed and Ben explained what happened to Jen.

"Wait did you say Vilgax? I recognize that name." Sunny said and Ben stopped. Ben turned to face Sunny, "He is an evil overlord from Vilgaxia. He craves power and will not stop till he gets what he wants. That's what I've been told at least." Sunny said and Ben felt his stomach tighten. "We have to save Jen, and put this guy in his place," Ben said and headed for a wide open area.

Gwen and Sunny followed, "What are we gonna do?" Gwen asked hoping Ben had an actual plan. "We lure him to us and I put him in his place," Ben said and took to the sky. Sunny grabbed Gwen and followed, neither one had a good feeling.

~~~~~~~~~

Vilgax flee through the air in search of Gwen, but it was hard to focus. "Silence yourself!!" Vilgax orders, "Never, now let me go you freak!" Jen screamed hitting some kind of barrier. Vilgax growled and gripped his head tightly, "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!! I will NOT let go, not until I get the Omnitrix." Vilgax said and Jen growled.

"Why do you care about that watch so much?" Jen asked still attacking the barrier. "That watch is the most powerful device in the universe. With it, I will be unstoppable." Vilgax said and Jen began to laugh. "You are never getting your hands on the Omnitrix, not while Ben is still standing," Jen said, and now it was Vilgax's turn to laugh.

"Trust what I say Vilgax. When Ben gets his hands on you it's over." Jen said and right on cue, a mana blast struck. Vilgax growled and looked down, standing in the open area were Ben, Gwen, and Sunny. Vilgax didn't hesitate and flew down, his sights locked on Gwen. However, before Vilgax could reach her Ben came in with a mana-covered fist and gave a hard punch. Vilgax crashed to the ground and Ben trapped them in a large mana cube.

Vilgax stood and growled but Ben delivered another hard punch to the gut. Vilgax hit the way and realized he should have trusted Jen. "Ben, wait! It's me, I'm your sister. Please, Ben." Ben narrowed his eyes. Ben growled and his eyes began to glow bright, and so did his hair. "You are not my sister." been growled. Ben's hair began to defy gravity and the green glow in his eyes turned white. "You are just a power-crazy freak controlling her." Ben grabbed Vilgax and watched as Ben's skin began to tear and rip revealing inky black with green specs.

"AND I. WANT. HER. BAAAAAACK!!!"

The light became too bright and Ben's voice was loud and overpowering. Gwen and Sunny turned away unable to watch due to the light and had to cover their ears. Sunny even covering her ears heard a familiar cracking noise and knew what was about to happen. Sunny quickly grabbed Gwen and put a shield around them before it was too late.

~~~~~~~~~

Sunny slowly let the shield down and was met with a cloud of smoke that had a bright glow in it. "Sunny?" Gwen asked but Sunny didn't answer. The smoke began to clear and Sunny's jaw dropped along with Gwen's.

Ben stood with Jen held in his arms unconscious. Ben kicked at the pile of metal on the ground by his feet and growled. Ben turned to look at Gwen and Sunny, but they couldn't bring themselves to speak, they were too captivated by Ben. He looked so different, he looked like an alien.

Ben's hair glowed a bright white and green while also defying gravity, one of his eyes glowed whit and the other a bright green. Ben's skin began inky black, with green star-like specs and a green outline. Ben's clothes had been torn and shredded allowing Gwen and Sunny to see the slim but muscular build he had. The only thing that didn't change was Ben still had his and Jeb's pouches perfectly intact on his leg.

Ben hummed then flew away with Jen in his arms, and Gwen and Sunny sat motionless. "There is no way." Sunny whispered not believing this could be true. "Sunny?" Gwen asked, "There is no way the are half-celestialsapian." Sunny said and Gwen became even more confused.

~~~~~~~~~

Ben landed on the roof of a building and collapsed with Jen still in his arms. There was a bright flash and Ben was back to his human form and he was so tired. Ben groaned and looked at himself and Jen, their clothes were ruined. Ben even though exhausted picked Jen up and began to fly. Ben and Jen could cover hundreds of miles in one night when they flew, he would have them at Aunt vera's by morning, she could help.

Ben 10 Series: Alien Force

[undeath1245]

Anodites in the fandom's perspective

So, it's been about over ten years since Ben 10: Alien Force aired, especially the season one episode, "What Are Little Girls Made of?", where it introduced the anodite concept for better or for worse. Anodites are free-spirited energy beings that possess a wide arrange of powerful abilities, including mana manipulation, flight, teleportation, astral projection, aura sensing, healing, and slight reality warping. Throughout UAF, they are perceived as bare humanoid figures with a purple color and light pink, aural hair, and so far, there were only female anodites shown, more specifically Verdona, Gwen Tennyson, and Sunny.

From what I can understand, many fans don't like this concept because not only does it take away everything about how Gwen learned to develop magical abilities on her own, but it also takes away the magic aspect of the series. Another thing that I understand is that UAF was heavily sci-fi and heavily alien-involved, which means that any concept that isn't entirely alien-based was either ignored or retconned into a new alien-based concept. Take, for example, the Dragon seen in the episode "Be-Knighted", where he was revealed to be an alien map maker and navigator, and that he was captured and imprisoned by the Forever Knights over 1,000 years ago. Basically, during the course of UAF, everything had to revolve around aliens, but I suppose that it had to, considering that the two series has the word "alien" in it.

Personally, I would revisit anodites as ancient, highly evolved, magical energy beings of human origin and/or various other species, and their homeworld, Anodyne, would be a terrestrial planet in the Legerdomain instead of a regular terrestrial planet. A long time ago, I found this deviation of a revised concept of an ancient anodite society, as well as another deviation of a malevolent anodite rebellion, with Verdona in the center.

And speaking of whom, I feel like revisiting Verdona into two different characters based on her traits; more on that in another post. I ought to do the same for Sunny as well. I feel like she deserves more potential. I would also like to involve the anodite concept with Charmcaster. Maybe she would seek out the anodites and coerce them to either make her powerful or she'll harness all of their energy to power herself instead; she'll most likely do the latter. And although people would like to see Gwen ultimately transform into an anodite and go wild, I feel like not making Gwen into an anodite, largely for the sake of her growing into a powerful sorceress on her own. But if she were to go anodite, maybe she would have been artificially transformed into an anodite.

Let me know what you guys think, and don't forget to reblog for sample size.
